Safety Compliance Unit - Fireworks

The Fireworks Acts; Manufacture, Storage, and Transportation of Fireworks (N.J.S.A. 21:2-1 et seq.) are enforced to prevent the unlawful manufacture, sale, transportation, and use of dangerous fireworks. The Fireworks Acts mandate that inspections be conducted at facilities where fireworks are manufactured. Any person who purchases, uses, discharges, causes to be discharged, ignites, fires, or otherwise sets in action, or possesses any fireworks is guilty of a petty disorderly persons offense.

The Sale and Public Display of Fireworks (N.J.S.A. 21:3-1 et seq.) mandates that local municipalities acquire the necessary resolutions prior to allowing fireworks displays. A copy of the resolutions must be submitted to this office.
